An Election Fable
in a large pasture surrounded by mountains
were a flock of sheep and herd of goats
on one mountaintop was a great wolf
on the other a ferocious panther
looking for a meal each started down the valley towards their prey
halfway down each saw the other and realized the other would have to go
so they started their approaches
as they approached and sized each other up
each then realized the other could do
fatal damage to the other
and said the wolf, “the sheep are mine”
and said the panther, “the goats are mine”
then the hungry predators each went towards their prey
when a man fired his gun and killed them both
